Robert Pattinson starred in two of the most successful film adaptations of all time–HarryPotterandThe Twilight Saga–while most22-year-olds would be thrilled, Pattinson confessed he wasn't so grateful.

In a new interview with theNew York Times,the now 29-year-old reveals his rebellious behaviour almost got him fired back in 2008. In fact, Edward Cullen was so close to getting replaced that his agent flew out to straighten him out.

Having just wrapped up the promotional tour for his new film Good Time in Cannes, Pattinson reflects that Twilight was “an amazing luxury” and it was “amazing luck, as well, to just have fallen into it with the group of people I worked with on it.”
